This month has completely flown by, which makes me kind of sad because January is my favorite month. I feel like I haven't gotten a chance to enjoy it. Maybe it's just because we haven't had much of a winter. At least the best part of the month is still ahead. I'll turn 31 Saturday, and I'm still enough of a little kid (even at my advanced age! *grin*) to really enjoy birthdays.

My grandmother's birthday is today, and she's 89 now. My family is filled with little Energizer bunnies like her, so I've got some good genes. :)

On a smaller note, today is also the 10th anniversary of my first post in my first online journal. I started it on Geocities to keep in touch with my family after Matt and I married and I moved to Alaska to be with him. In some ways, I feel like one of those "walked uphill in the snow both ways" kind of people, but I really never imagined I'd go from coding every little thing in Notepad to using something so automated like Vox. It's amazing how much more accessible online journals and blogs have become for people, and I enjoy getting to be a small part of that now.

Matt and I celebrated our 10th anniversary last week by taking the week off from work. We took a couple of short trips and spent some time at home setting up our office with a new desk for me and a new filing cabinet. Tomorrow it's time to go back to work, and I feel a bit like a pouting toddler. "I don't wanna go!"

As part of the anniversary week festivities, we also went from sharing one cell phone to having two cell phones. We both chose the LG VX8300. It's a definite upgrade over the Nokia we had that was about five years old. I'm looking forward to trying out the camera and posting some of the pictures here to see how that works. I really should start carrying around my nice digital camera more often, but it always seems like too much of a hassle. Now I'll have this lower-quality option for quick pictures.
